TODOs
* Graphical boot menu:
Current plan is
1. list of all modes and use highest (from fbresolution or vbemode output) as default, for selection in options dialog 2. use background image (instead of grub2's theme), default to the path of opensuse background .. need to decide the path and the art work, or could we reuse any Polymouth image, Raymond ?
For 1, the concern for me is that fbresoltuin make yast2 bootloader to depend on splash package and vbemode may not detect some special native mode (but we can reuse vgamode in yast for detecting the modes).
Michael, New artwork will available soon in factory. I made some reflexion this week-end and also wait the feedback about getting png as default format for default wallpaper If we move to this format then plymouth and grub2 will be able to pick those. Now we have to select the best ratio image 4:3,5:4,16:9,16:10 so extending or shrinking the image will keep a nice aspect ... My idea would be to create a simple way to select which image to take from an array of resolution and picking the right one according to fbresolution output I believe we should do it with bash as the most low level tools available at install time? Any ideas or comments? In the next few days, I will try to trick one factory install here, and see if plymouth is able to work with a linked png (but I'm pretty sure we will have to patch mkinitrd to copy not the link but the link destination) ps : for grub2 unfortunately, the selected image has to be copied in /boot otherwise luks / will not allow grub2 to use it. I believe it's too complicated and less errors proof to try to do that only if / is encrypted, cause /usr can also be separate and encrypted too. So better to have only one rules ps2 : If you need the artwork png for test for grub2 and plymouth you can pick a demo here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13333867/openSUSE/default-1280x1024.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13333867/openSUSE/default-1600x1200.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13333867/openSUSE/default-1920x1080.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13333867/openSUSE/default-1920x1200.png ps3 : Once we know what we want for plymouth branding and grub2 branding, then we will add them to gitorious/art repository and also modify the Base:System:opensuse-branding package -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
